Hi everyone and Thanks for reading the post.
My hand calculation and FEA did not match at all for a new model I am working on it.
Therefore, I created a very simple model to make FEA verification. Surprisingly, the results did not match at all.
Please see the attached file for the details of the verification, I am doing.
The problem is very simple: It is a tube under pure torsion.
Solidworks results are much higher than theoretical expected values.
Can anyone explain the reasons of this discrepancy please?
Thanks for the help,
Zinov
